Safety Solutions For The Medical Industry
Compliant with International Standards.
Measure Patient Leakage Current According to IEC60601-1.
During this global pandemic, the need for medical equipment such as ventilators cannot be overstated, and manufacturers all over the world are rushing to meet the demand. As with most electrical equipment, medical devices must also be tested for safety, especially since the devices often come into direct contact with the patient or healthcare worker. IEC 60601-1 Ed. 3 is a widely accepted safety standard for medical electrical equipment.
Part of the standard addresses patient leakage current, i.e., leakage current that flows through a patient connected to an applied part or parts. Here, we outline and introduce Hioki electrical safety testers in the following orders:
